Anthony Davis on which player isn’t talked about enough:
“Shai. He gets talked about but maybe not to the extent that he should. OKC’s playing great basketball..
The amount of success they’re having.. I think it should be recognized a little bit more.”

Me: Why do you think your name isn’t being discussed more for MVP?
Doncic: I have no idea.
Me: Do you think if you scored more in the All-Star game it might give your candidacy a nudge?
Doncic: I don’t think so. I don’t know. This (lack of MVP consideration) is not my fault. – 12:52 PM

He’ll be making his second All-Star appearance this weekend in Indianapolis, and with all of that success comes attention. Edwards note a recent Vanity Fair profile that while he doesn’t drink, he does like to gamble, particularly on blackjack. But unlike much of the betting world seems to be doing these days, he’s doing it responsibly. “I go in there with $10 to $20K, and if they take that, I’m gone,” Edwards says in the article. -via For The Win / February 17, 2024
